S Jaishankar meets Rubio, discusses bilateral issues amid deteriorating India-US bond over tariff imposition
Indian External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Monday met US Secretary of State Marco Rubio when they discussed a range of bilateral and international issues of current concern.
This was the first in-person meeting between the two leaders since the US President Donald Trump-led administration imposed additional tariffs on India.
The meeting occurred on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).
"Our conversation covered a range of bilateral and international issues of current concern. Agreed on the importance of sustained engagement to progress on priority areas," Indian EAM S Jaishankar wrote on X on the meeting with the leader.
Good to meet @SecRubio this morning in New York.

"We will remain in touch," he said.
The two leaders last met in Washington in July for the 10th Quad Foreign Ministers' Meet.
The relationship between India and the US has reached a low point over the Donald Trump-led administration's decision to impose 50 percent tariffs on India.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump also signed a petition that will impose $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas.
The announcement sparked a strong reaction from the tech world, with a large number of Indian professionals applying for it every year.
